Due to normal wear and break in, the column ways and
the headstock gib will eventually have to be readjusted.
To adjust the headstock gib, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE PLANER/MOULDER FROM POWER!
2. Clean and lubricate the column leadscrew, gib, and
ways.
3. Loosen the gib jam nuts shown in Figure 60.
4. Using a 4mm hex wrench, adjust the upper and lower
gib screws in an alternating fashion until a slight
drag is detected in the headstock slide when the
handwheel is cranked.
5. Tighten the lock nuts.
NOTICE
When adjusting gibs, the goal is to remove unneces-
sary sloppiness or binding from the headstock as it is
slid up and down on the column. A loose gib will allow
the headstock to vibrate and the knives to chatter.
An overly tight gib will prematurely wear the column
and leadscrew.
